N,N-Dimethylaniline → HCID 15225152, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-phenoxyphenol (5.0 g, 26.9 mmol) and dimethylaniline (3.4 ml, 26.8 mmol) in 35 ml of benzene plus 1.5 ml of dioxane was added dropwise over 15 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere to a solution of trichloromethyl chloroformate (1.6 ml, 13.3 mmol) in 30 ml of benzene at ice bath temperature. After the addition, the cooling bath was removed and the stirring continued for 24 hours. The reaction was cooled to ice bath temperature and a solution of piperidine (2.7 ml, 27.3 mmol) and pyridine (4.4 ml, 54.4 mmol) in 20 ml of benzene was added dropwise over 15 minutes. After the addition, the reaction was stirred at ice bath temperature for 3 hours. The cooling bath was removed and the stirring continued for 22 hours. The reaction was diluted with benzene and extracted two times with 1N HCl. The organic solution was dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 7.21 g of an oil. Purification by HPLC (hexane:EtOAc) gave 5.05 g of a light yellow crystalline solid. Recrystallization from diisopropyl ether gave the title compound as a white crystalline solid (3.11 g, 39%), mp 74°-76° C.
